The first image of Joel and Ellie in The Last of Us TV series has been released and it looks uncannily accurate and amazing. Some people are convinced it was taken straight from the game!
Neil Druckmann, Creative Director of Naughty Dog, is set to write at least one episode of the show. He seemed quite emotional on seeing the shot of Joel and Ellie:
We love the casting of the HBO show – the choice of Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie is spot on – as we can see in the still!
As well as these two awesome Game of Thrones actors, we can also look forward to Merle Dandridge as Marlene (she voiced the character in the game, so this is pitch perfect). Gabriel Luna has been cast to play Joel’s brother, Tommy. Joel’s daughter, Sarah, will be played by Nico Parker. You can check out the full announced cast on IMDB.
Back in July, images of the sets being built were released for The Last of Us TV show. But this is the first time we’ve seen what the show will really look like. The clothing, accessories and casting is all spot on in the still. However, the CGI of the crashed plane still looks a little odd to us, but that may be fixed up in post-production.
